The Carrier Idrofan 42NX is a sophisticated hydraulic ducted fan coil unit specifically engineered for tertiary building applications. Designed for seamless integration into false ceilings, this compact and modular system provides exceptional climate control with cooling capacities ranging from 0.9 kW to 11 kW and heating capacities between 0.8 kW and 12 kW. Its versatile design supports 2-pipe, 2-pipe with electric heater, or 4-pipe coil configurations, ensuring it meets diverse project requirements with ease. Performance is further enhanced by high-pressure centrifugal fans and variable-speed EC motors, which contribute to significantly lower energy consumption and quiet operation throughout the space. Installation flexibility is a core feature of the 42NX series. The units can be specified with free inlets and outlets, rectangular flanges for ductwork connectivity, or comprehensive inlet and outlet plenums with multiple spigot options (160, 200, or 250 mm). By offering factory-installed options, Carrier reduces on-site labor, simplifying the integration process. Whether used in offices, hotels, or other commercial settings, this unit prioritizes occupant comfort and indoor air quality while maintaining a discreet, low-profile presence in the ceiling plenum.
